The official Butterfly Effects Louisiana page currently labels this center-based branch as Independence, LA, at 4201 N. I-10 Service Road West, Metairie, LA 70006; the existing listing name is retained as-is. The branch page describes full-day early intervention for ages 2-6, one-to-one learning pods, and group and social learning spaces. Its after-school copy uses conflicting age wording (5 and up in one program card and 6-12 in body text), so families should confirm eligibility. Butterfly Effects provider pages list in-home, in-center, in-school, and virtual care and name Aetna, Blue Cross Blue Shield, Cigna, Tricare, and United Healthcare. Plan participation, authorization, and current branch availability should be confirmed. Call 888-880-9270 or use the contact form.

ATLAS Autism Center's Gretna facility page identifies the physical location at 1000 Behrman Highway, Gretna, LA 70056. The provider homepage describes care for children ages 2-6, says it typically serves 12-14 children, and reports an extensive waitlist; families should confirm the current status directly. The services page describes one-to-one direct ABA instruction, group instruction, parent training, and assessments and behavior-reduction plans using VBMAPP, ABLLS-R, C-PIRK, and VBDA. ATLAS says diagnostic evaluations are performed by licensed psychologists or other diagnosticians rather than by ATLAS. Call 504-265-0548, email atlasautismcenter@gmail.com, or use the service-inquiries form. The reviewed official pages did not publish a current payer list.

AST's official location locator identifies the Slidell Learning Center at 310 Gateway Drive, Suite A, Slidell, LA 70461 and lists Center-Based ABA Therapy, In-Home ABA Therapy, School, Speech & Language Therapy, and teleABA. AST's service pages describe contemporary, individualized, evidence-based ABA for children ages 1-12, with in-home, center, school, social-skills, and telehealth options. The insurance page says AST accepts all forms of private insurance in addition to Medicaid, can check benefits, and requires copays, coinsurance, and charges due at service. Call 985-605-7666 or use the contact form; the reviewed AST pages did not publish a Slidell branch email. The general site reports no wait list for new clients, but local availability should still be confirmed.
